ok Jax,
it's easier than you think... so you have a list ["one", "two", "three"],
and you want to take that values offf the list to use them in a variable.
I can suggest you to have lingo counting how many entries does this list
have inside herself, it can be done this way.
entries = listVariable.count
where count is a function that applied to lists can extrapolate the number
of entries in it. Now you should go one by one all the entries and put them
in a string for your field to display it.
repeat with a = 1 to entries
stringVariable = stringVariable&&listVariable[a]
end repeat
this should fill your stringVariable with all the values in the
listVariable. You can also put commas between the entries by changing the
instruction into the repeat block like this :
stringVariable = stringVariable&", "&listVariable[a]
Ok, jax hope i've been of some help. Good Luck!

"Oh non datemi piu' quel Vecchio Liquore Janx
No, non datemi piu' il Vecchio Janx
Altrimenti la testa mi vola via,
la lingua dice solo una bugia,
gli occhi mi si mettono a bollire,
e va a finire che mi tocca morire.
Su dunque, riempitemi un altro bicchiere,
che il turpe Janx voglio bere."
